Introducing Piccolo

our newest traveling companion. Piccolo is an ASUS Eee PC otherwise known as a 'netbook'. He is smaller and less powerful than a regular laptop computer but is also much less expensive so we don't have to worry quite as much. He feels almost as heavy as my MacBook but is about 25% lighter. And... of course... Intel is inside.

We're hoping that he will help with blogging, e-mailing, and trip planning along the way. We'll be using WiFi connections in our hotels and cafes as we make our way through Europe. And here's hoping he doesn't hog the bathroom!
